(1) Where under section 3(6) above a person convicted of an offence is liable to deportation on the recommendation of a court, he may be recommended for deportation by any court having power to sentence him for the offence unless the court commits him to be sentenced or further dealt with for that offence by another court.
(2) A court shall not recommend a person for deportation unless he has been given not less than seven days notice in writing stating that a person is not liable to deportation if he is a British citizen, describing the persons who are British citizens and stating (so far as material) the effect of section 3(8) above and section 7 below; but the powers of adjournment conferred by section 9 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1989 (an Act of Tynwald) shall include power to adjourn, after convicting an offender, for the purpose of enabling a notice to be given to him under this subsection or, if a notice was so given to him less than seven days previously, for the purpose of enabling the necessary seven days to elapse.

and for purposes of deportation a person who on being charged with an offence is found to have committed it shall, notwithstanding any enactment to the contrary and notwithstanding that the court does not proceed to conviction, be regarded as a person convicted of the offence, and references to conviction shall be construed accordingly.
(4) Notwithstanding any rule of practice restricting the matters which ought to be taken into account in dealing with an offender who is sentenced to custody, a recommendation for deportation may be made in respect of an offender who is sentenced to custody for life.
(5) Where a court recommends or purports to recommend a person for deportation, the validity of the recommendation shall not be called in question except on an appeal against the recommendation or against the conviction on which it is made; but the recommendation shall be treated as a sentence for the purpose of any enactment providing an appeal against sentence.
(6) A deportation order shall not be made on the recommendation of a court so long as an appeal or further appeal is pending against the recommendation or against the conviction on which it was made; and for this purpose an appeal or further appeal shall be treated as pending (where one is competent but has not been brought) until the expiration of the time for bringing that appeal.

(b) he has at any time been refused leave to enter the Isle of Man and has not since then been given leave to enter or remain in the Isle of Man; or

(5A) An order under subsection (2) above may, as regards any person or class of persons to whom it applies, provide for that person or class to be in specified circumstances regarded (notwithstanding the order) as settled in the Isle of Man for the purposes of section 1(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981.

(3) Any provision of this Act applying to a limited leave or to conditions attached to a limited leave shall, unless otherwise provided, have effect in relation to a person subject to any restriction or condition by virtue of an order under subsection (2) above as if the provisions of the order applicable to him were terms on which he had been given leave under this Act to enter the Isle of Man.

14.—(1) Where it appears to the Governor that directions might be given in respect of a person under paragraph 12 or 13 above, but that it is not practicable for them to be given or that, if given, they would be ineffective, then the Governor may give to the owners or agents of any ship or aircraft any such directions in respect of that person as are authorised by paragraph 12(2)(c) or 13(2)(c).

(a) a decision whether or not to give such directions;
(b) his removal in pursuance of such directions.
(3) A person on board a ship or aircraft may, under the authority of an immigration officer, be removed from the ship or aircraft for detention under this paragraph; but if an immigration officer so requires the captain of a ship or aircraft shall prevent from disembarking in the Isle of Man any person who has arrived in the United Kingdom in the ship or aircraft and been refused leave to enter, and the captain may for that purpose detain him in custody on board the ship or aircraft.
(4) The captain of a ship or aircraft, if so required by an immigration officer, shall prevent from disembarking in the Isle of Man or before the directions for his removal have been fulfilled any person placed on board the ship or aircraft under paragraph 11 or 15 above, and the captain may for that purpose detain him in custody on board the ship or aircraft.

the owners or agents of the ship or aircraft in which he arrived in the Isle of Man shall be liable to pay the Governor on demand any expenses incurred by the latter in respect of the custody, accommodation or maintenance of that person for any period (not exceeding 14 days) after his arrival while he was detained or liable to be detained under paragraph 16 above.

(2) So long as a person is at large in the Isle of Man by virtue of this paragraph, he shall be subject to such restrictions as to residence, as to his employment or occupation and as to reporting to the police or an immigration officer as may from time to time be notified to him in writing by an immigration officer.
(2A) The provisions that may be included in restrictions as to residence imposed under sub-paragraph (2) include provisions of such a description as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Governor.
(2B) The regulations may, among other things, provide for the inclusion of provisions—

(3) Sub-paragraph (4) below applies where a person who is at large in the Isle of Man by virtue of this paragraph is subject to a restriction as to reporting to an immigration officer with a view to the conclusion of his examination under paragraph 2 or 2A above.
(4) If the person fails at any time to comply with that restriction—
(a) an immigration officer may direct that the person’s examination shall be treated as concluded at that time; but

(1A) An immigration officer not below the rank of chief immigration officer or an adjudicator may release a person so detained on his entering into a recognizance conditioned for his appearance before an immigration officer at a time and place named in the recognizance or at such other time and place as may in the meantime be notified to him in writing by an immigration officer.
(1B) Sub-paragraph (1)(a) above shall not apply unless seven days have elapsed since the date of the person’s arrival in the Isle of Man.
(2) The conditions of a recognizance taken under this paragraph may include conditions appearing to the immigration officer or adjudicator to be likely to result in the appearance of the person bailed at the required time and place; and any recognizance shall be with or without sureties as the officer or adjudicator may determine.
(3) In any case in which an immigration officer or adjudicator has power under this paragraph to release a person on bail, the officer or adjudicator may, instead of taking the bail, fix the amount and conditions of the bail (including the amount in which any sureties are to be bound) with a view to its being taken subsequently by any such person as may be specified by the officer or adjudicator; and on the recognizance being so taken the person to be bailed shall be released.
23.—(1) Where a recognizance entered into under paragraph 22 above appears to an adjudicator to be forfeited, the adjudicator may by order declare it to be forfeited and adjudge the persons bound thereby, whether as principal or sureties, or any of them, to pay the sum in which they are respectively bound or such part of it, if any, as the adjudicator thinks fit; and an order under this sub-paragraph shall specify a court of summary jurisdiction, and—
(a) the recognizance shall be treated for the purposes of collection, enforcement and remission of the sum forfeited as having been forfeited by the court so specified; and
(b) the adjudicator shall, as soon as practicable, give particulars of the recognizance to the Chief Registrar.
(3) Any sum the payment of which is enforceable by virtue of this paragraph by a court of summary jurisdiction shall, for the purposes of section 89 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1989 (an Act of Tynwald), be treated as being due under a recognizance forfeited by such a court.
24.—(1) An immigration officer or constable may arrest without warrant a person who has been released by virtue of paragraph 22 above—
(a) if he has reasonable grounds for believing that that person is likely to break the condition of his recognizance that he will appear at the time and place required or to break any other condition of it, or has reasonable grounds to suspect that that person is breaking or has broken any such other condition; or
(b) if, a recognizance with sureties having been taken, he is notified in writing by any sureties of the surety’s belief that that person is likely to break the first-mentioned condition, and of the surety’s wish for that reason to be relieved of his obligation as a surety;
and paragraph 17(2) above shall apply for the arrest of a person under this paragraph as it applies for the arrest of a person under paragraph 17.
(2) A person arrested under this paragraph—
(a) if not required by a condition on which he was released to appear before an immigration officer within twenty-four hours after the time of his arrest, shall as soon as practicable be brought before an adjudicator or, if that is not practicable within those twenty-four hours, before a justice of the peace; and
(b) if required by such a condition to appear within those twenty-four hours before an immigration officer, shall be brought before that officer.
(3) An adjudicator or justice of the peace before whom a person is brought by virtue of sub-paragraph (2)(a) above—

(i) direct that he be detained under the authority of the person by whom he was arrested; or
(ii) release him, on his original recognizance or on a new recognizance, with or without sureties; and
